Podcasts about better brain

In this episode, Dr. Bonnie Kaplan shares a statistic that should stop everyone in their tracks: 50% of people will be diagnosed with a mental disorder at some point in their lifetime. When she was a kid in the 1950s, that rate was 1% or less. As a professor emeritus at the University of Calgary and co-author of The Better Brain, Dr. Kaplan has spent decades researching what went wrong. She shares the case of "Andrew," a 10-year-old with childhood psychosis who recovered on micronutrients when six months of psychiatric care failed…yet his doctor refused to try it with other patients because "it's not part of clinical practice guidelines." This episode was initially released in July 2022

In this episode of the ThoughtStretchers podcast, host Drew Perkins talks with Dr. Barbara Oakley, distinguished professor of engineering and co-instructor of the celebrated Learning How to Learn course, to discuss her critical opinion piece: Censorship Hurts Our Brains: Why Neuroscience Confirms the Importance of Free Speech. They dive deep into the neural mechanisms behind free expression, the challenges facing K-12 education, and the dangers of sacrificing liberty for perceived order. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode + Video Podcast Show Notes & Main Discussion Points: Neuroscience and Free Speech: Dr. Oakley explains that exposure to differing viewpoints is essential for cognitive flexibility and how emotional upset literally impedes rational thought when we engage with challenging ideas. The 'Cult of Safety': We examine how the modern pursuit of "safe spaces" can ironically lead to a heightened acceptance of hostility toward people with different political views. K-12 Education & Free Speech: We explore the difficulty of promoting civic thought in K-12, noting the tension between academic freedom and the need for interventions to overcome ineffective educational practices. Critique of Constructivism: Dr. Oakley argues that pure constructivism in education is "completely opposed... to neuroscience," and suggests a balanced "knowledge-rich inquiry" model, guided by Socratic questioning, as a more effective path to true learning. Order vs. Liberty: Finally, we discuss how a perceived loss of public safety and order can make a population more willing to compromise essential liberties, including free speech. Time-Stamped Highlights: The Neuroscience of Free Speech (00:07:01): Dr. Oakley explains how engaging with opposing viewpoints—especially through her free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the neurocognitive perspective of free speech—is vital for building cognitive flexibility. The Cult of Safety (00:20:17): Barbara Oakley discusses the "cult of safety" and how the swift transition from the pursuit of safe spaces to the acceptance of hostility toward people with differing political beliefs is a worrying trend. Emotional Upset vs. Rational Thought (00:23:15): A key takeaway from the neuroscience perspective is that emotional upset makes rational, conscientious engagement with an upsetting topic extremely difficult. The best approach is to manage emotions and seek to understand why people hold their beliefs. The Dilemma of K-12 Civic Education (00:10:59): Drew Perkins highlights the struggle to promote civic thought and enlightenment tradition principles in schools, noting that the lack of connection to test scores often pushes these initiatives aside. Government Intervention & 'Paradigm Cartels' (00:13:37): They discuss the tension between academic freedom and the occasional necessity of legislative intervention to overcome entrenched, ineffective beliefs in education, citing the "reading wars" and the mandate of phonics instruction as an example. The Dangers of Anti-Liberal Movements (00:30:52): Drew Perkins explores the growing "post-liberal and/or anti-liberal" movements on both the political right and left, expressing concern that these forces are dangerously pushing against the fundamental issue of free speech. Constructivism vs. Neuroscience (00:39:41): Dr. Oakley argues that the pervasive influence of pure constructivism in K-12 is "completely opposed... to neuroscience," citing negative learning outcomes in places like New Zealand, where a student-centered approach has been extensively applied. The Power of Knowledge-Rich Inquiry (00:45:29): They align on a knowledge-rich inquiry model, where a teacher uses Socratic questioning to narrow the "potential solution space," leading the student to the final 'aha' moment and strengthening the neural connection, which is a key part of effective teaching. Loss of Order and Compromising Liberty (00:38:40): The conversation concludes by linking the loss of public order and stability to a population's increased willingness to sacrifice liberties, like free speech, in exchange for a feeling of safety and for the metaphorical "trains to run on time."

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Tommy Wood to dig into his upcoming book, The Stimulated Mind — a ridiculously practical guide to building a better brain.We get into all kinds of fun rabbit holes: how technology is changing fitness, why lactate (yes, the same stuff you curse during hard intervals) is actually rocket fuel for your brain, and why a solid dose of cardio is one of the most underrated cognitive enhancers out there.We also tackle resistance training, neuroplasticity as you age, and which sports and drills actually move the needle for cognition. And because it's Tommy, we even wander into the spicy territory of psychedelics and whether they may have a place in brain health.If you want real, actionable strategies to boost memory, focus, and long-term cognitive performance—without drowning in jargon—this episode is for you.Tune in and geek out with us.Sponsors:LMNT electrolyte drink mix: https://drinklmnt.com/Flex 4: Dr Tommy Wood's top 4 ways to improve your brain Preorder The Stimulated Mind: https://www.amazon.com/Stimulated-Mind-Future-Proof-Brain-Dementia/dp/0593797817/ref=sr_1_1Triphasic 2 book now available!Go to https://triphasic2.com/Episode Chapters:02:01 Dr. Tommy Wood's Background and Expertise03:15 The Stimulated Mind: Translating Neuroscience into Practical Tips04:01 Sponsors and Special Offers05:09 Interview with Dr. Tommy Wood Begins06:58 The Benefits of High-Intensity Exercise10:37 Lactate and BDNF: Brain Fertilizer17:16 The Potential of Lactate Supplements20:49 The Challenges of Translating Preclinical Science to Humans26:54 The Importance of the Hippocampus and Executive Function29:53 The Benefits of Resistance Training for Cognitive Health32:09 The Cognitive Benefits of Coordinative Training34:30 The Importance of Recreation and Social Interaction37:34 The Humbling Nature of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu38:12 The Stimulated Mind: Brain Function and Exercise40:06 Neuroplasticity and Aging40:50 Embracing Discomfort for Brain Growth42:47 The Role of Dopamine in Learning45:14 Flow vs. Clutch States in Performance48:41 The Goat Drill: A Complex Motor Skill Exercise53:13 Expanding Cognitive Headroom58:00 Psychedelics and Brain Health01:03:26 Wrapping Up: Book Promotion and Final ThoughtsFlex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy: Episode 307: The Lost Episode on Body Composition Research with Dr. Tommy Wood and Dr. Ben HouseYouTube: https://youtu.be/ytbNiJ25kiQ Episode 178: Rebroadcast – Insulin and Glucose Myths & more with Dr Tommy WoodYouTube: https://youtu.be/N7LchLtBJr4Connect with Dr. Tommy Wood: Substack: https://substack.com/@betterbrainfitnessInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtommywoodWebsite: https://www.drtommywood.com/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/

Fake supplements. Counterfeit pills. Nutrients that may prevent blindness and brain damage.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah begin with a good, cathartic rant. (You are encouraged to pause this episode and join them as needed.) Hannah’s having bad brain days, Matty’s wrestling tangled headphones, hectic mornings, running on fumes, and they’re both reaching for more self-compassion, or, at least, a little bit of acceptance. However, there’s something that can be done, and they’re doing it, even if it begins with a boiled egg and the last bit of dry old ham. Hannah relives the Kaikōura earthquake, and Matty questions whether she’s thriving, coping, or slightly falling apart. Then, your good friends have a friendly chat about a few bits of life admin worth checking that absolutely, in no way, should be confused with qualified advice. (Isn’t that what GPT is for?)

Not long ago, conditions like Alzheimer's were rare, but today, nearly one in two people over 80 are diagnosed with it. In contrast, in places like the Amazon, dementia affects only about one in a hundred—highlighting how modern lifestyle plays a major role in brain health. The brain isn't an isolated organ; it's deeply influenced by diet, sleep, movement, stress, toxins, and emotional well-being. Many people who once struggled with brain fog, depression, or memory loss have experienced dramatic improvements by healing their bodies—addressing gut health, detoxifying harmful substances, optimizing nutrition, and supporting the brain's energy systems. With the right tools, including targeted nutrients, lifestyle changes, and even therapies like breathwork or plant medicines, it's now possible not only to protect the brain from decline but also to enhance clarity, focus, and resilience at any age. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Daniel Amen and Alberto Villoldo, how the body and brain are intimately connected and how we can think and feel better when we address our overall health first. Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time NY Times bestselling author, and founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, with 10 US locations. Dr. Amen is the author of many books including the mega-bestseller Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, as well as The End of Mental Illness, Memory Rescue, Healing ADD, and Your Brain Is Always Listening. In March 2022, Tyndale will publish his new book, You, Happier: The 7 Neuroscience Secrets of Feeling Good Based on Your Brain Type.   Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., is a medical anthropologist, psychologist and shaman, who studied the spiritual practices of the Amazon and the Andes for more than 30 years. While at San Francisco State University, he founded the Biological Self-Regulation Laboratory to study how the mind creates psychosomatic health and disease.  Founder of The Four Winds Society, he instructs individuals throughout the world in the practice of energy medicine. Dr. Villoldo has written numerous bestselling books, including Power Up Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Enlightenment (with David Perlmutter MD), Shaman, Healer, Sage; and WSJ bestseller One Spirit Medicine.   This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

n this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Akila Kadambi, a leading researcher at the UCLA Brain Research Institute, USC Brain and Creativity Institute, and fellow at the UCLA-CDU Dana Center. She is an expert in Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience, exploring how positive and humanistic neuroscience reshapes our understanding of the mind. Dr. Kadambi's groundbreaking work focuses on the neuroscience of empathy, pro-social behavior, and how societal factors shape our brain's expression of compassion and connection. From the wiring of our neural circuits to the impact of culture and community, she offers a compelling look at how kindness isn't just a moral ideal—it's a measurable, trainable, and deeply biological part of being human.

Her dedication to evidence-based practice has propelled her podcast to the top 10% of global rankings in just six months. Dr. Hieshetter's clinical practice is underpinned by rigorous research, patient-centered care, and a deep commitment to improving health outcomes through innovative approaches like low-level laser therapy. Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the intricacies of gut health and its profound impact on overall wellness. She opens with a nod to her previous episode about low-level laser therapy in neurodegenerative diseases and its life-changing potential for children. Transitioning into the current discussion, Dr. Hieshetter elaborates on how gut health significantly influences various symptoms like GI upset, brain fog, and mental health deterioration, emphasizing a holistic clinical approach. Amid her exploration of gut microbiome, Dr. Hieshetter sheds light on the critical role of nutritional choices and exposure to toxins such as MSG, aspartame, and glyphosate. Highlighting the connection between gut imbalances and systemic diseases, she shares a powerful story of a patient who traveled from Florida seeking relief from chronic gastrointestinal issues. Through advanced gut testing, Dr. Hieshetter outlines her integrative treatment strategies, underscoring the significance of vibrant gut health and its direct correlation with mental well-being, autoimmune disorders, and even neurological diseases like Parkinson's. Key Takeaways: Gut health is intricately linked to brain health, influencing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. Functional testing, such as Vibrant America's Gut Zoomer, plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating gut imbalances. Avoiding harmful substances like excitotoxins and pesticides is crucial for maintaining gut and overall health. Comprehensive treatment plans, including probiotics, dietary changes, and low-level laser therapy, can significantly improve quality of life. Emotional and mental health often improve alongside physical well-being in cases of severe gut imbalances. Notable Quotes: "When there are things that I know the world needs, I know my patients need, they keep walking through my door without me asking." "Your gut microbiome is a major protector of that." "Pesticides like paraquat, they inhibit autophagy… It cleans out cancer cells that shouldn't be there." "Stop eating pesticides. Avoid them at all costs." "It's a really different topic to check out, but for the repeat listeners, you know, it's been a great journey for us all here."

In this fantastically informative episode with Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan, we explore the direct connection between mental health and nutrient intake. The evidence detailed in this episode and in Bonnie's book, The Better Brain is clear and consistent across populations. It is my hope that by releasing this episode folks will be inspired to change their diets and see for themselves the mental health benefits that transpire. I believe that a proper diet can keep us off medications or help us decrease them, but if you are on psychiatric medications make sure to work with a professional if you plan to take micronutrients. You may need medication adjustments. In this episode, we uncover: * what happens to our mental health when we eat processed foods * the definition of what Bonnie calls a "hungry brain" * how the brain gets vitamins and nutrients and what it does with them * the ways focus changes the brain's needs * what it means to eat your cofactor * why focusing on one single nutrient or vitamin will not fix your brain health * why eating whole foods isn't always enough for brain health and what to do about it * how minimally processed foods could be better than nonprocessed * what to look for in a broad spectrum multi-nutrient * cases of psychosis and trauma being modulated by micronutrients * what Bonnie hops all mental health clinics will tell their clients when they're first referred * and so much more... Bonnie's formal training and degrees (masters, PhD, postdoc) were from the University of Chicago, Brandeis University, the West Haven, Connecticut, VA Hospital Neuropsychology Laboratory, and Yale University Department of Neurology. When Bonnie is asked how she became interested in Nutrition and Mental Health, she explains that her training in psychology and neuroscience led her to focus on the biological basis of human behaviour. For many years she studied the role of nutrition in mental illness and brain development. Three awards that she feels very honoured by: are her election in 2017 as one of 150 Canadian Difference Makers in Mental Health, the Dr. Rogers Prize for excellence in complementary and alternative medicine because of her research on nutrition and mental disorders, and in 2021 chosen as one of the top7over70 in Calgary. As Bonnie approached retirement, she decided to focus on two tasks. One was knowledge translation -educating the general public about the role of diet in creating vulnerability to mental health problems. From that goal, her book The Better Brain emerged, written for the general public with Professor Julia Rucklidge, and published in 2021 by Harper Collins. Her second goal was to raise funds to support her junior colleagues who were leaving the field because of their inability to convince government funding agencies that scientific research on nutrition and mental health was worthwhile. She established two charitable funds, one in Canada (managed by the Calgary Foundation) and one in the U.S. (managed by the FJC Foundation in New York City). So far, the two funds have attracted over $1 million CAD. All of it has been distributed, mostly to support clinical trials and biomarker research in relation to nutritional treatment of mental health. Scientists in Canada, the U.S., and New Zealand have been recipients of those funds, and now additional money is being sought for further assays of epigenetic, microbiome, and metabolomic indicators of the benefit of micronutrient treatment.

Are there nutritional interventions that can help alleviate symptoms of mental illnesses? While our modern healthcare system frequently prescribes medications to address various conditions, it may be overlooking a powerful solution: broad-spectrum micronutrients in the treatment of mental illness… In this conversation, we connect with Professor Julia Rucklidge to get her take on this intriguing topic. Julia is a professor of psychology and a clinical psychologist at the School of Psychology, Speech and Hearing at the University of Canterbury, the director of Te Puna Toiora, the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Lab, and the theme leader in the Child Wellbeing Institute. She is also the co-author of The Better Brain, a book that introduces a cutting-edge approach to treating mental disorders like anxiety, depression, and ADHD with food and nutrients. Join the discussion now to uncover: The importance of challenging the current health paradigm. How to nourish your brain for a stable mood, resilience, and stress resistance.

In the first half, neuroscientist Kristen Willeumier shared ways in which we can build and maintain cognitive health throughout our lifetimes. Dr. Willeumier highlighted the uniqueness of each person's brain chemistry, saying that "every case is different… due to environmental factors or genetic factors." She underscored the significance of staying active both physically and mentally, pointing to studies that link physical activity with increased blood flow to the brain, which helps preserve cognitive function. "Staying cognitively engaged and physically active… can really help slow down or reduce our risk of dementia," she insisted.The conversation then shifted to dietary influences on brain health. Dr. Willeumier recommended the Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. "Berries have been shown to really help support healthy brain function," she noted, adding that foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish and walnuts, also promote cognitive well-being.Dr. Willeumier shared other practical tips for improving brain health, including engaging in mindfulness practices, reducing processed food intake, and managing stress, which can lead to shrinkage of key brain areas. "Stress can shrink brain volume in the prefrontal cortex… which is essential for higher cognitive functioning," she warned. Dr. Willeumier also touched on the future of neurotechnology, specifically Neuralink's brain-computer interface. "These technologies could really transform the way we look at what is possible with the brain," she said.Sleep was another crucial topic. Dr. Willeumier explained that restorative sleep is vital for memory consolidation and emotional regulation. Throughout the rest of the interview, she provided listeners with more tangible strategies to "biohack" their brains. "Practicing gratitude, taking brisk walks, and even enjoying a piece of dark chocolate can promote brain health," she advised.---------------------In the second half, animal communicator Amelia Kinkade shared stories of reincarnated animals coming back to the humans they love. "Everywhere I go, 75% of hands go up when I ask if people feel their pets have reincarnated," she shared. Kinkade recounted a story about a veterinarian's deceased cat who communicated details of her own death, and even described a future incarnation. "[Beings] can actually negotiate reincarnation," Kinkade noted.A significant theme of the conversation was the innate intuition that all humans possess. "There's no sixth sense; it's our first sense. We all have the capability to connect deeply with other beings," Kinkade stated. She emphasized that animal behavior often reflects human emotional states, saying, "If a person is upset, the animal mirrors that emotion—it's a deep spiritual practice."She also described her late chocolate Persian cat's reincarnation, which she encountered during a safari in Africa. "I had a vision of a lioness asking for my blessing for her cub," Kinkade said. Later on that same trip, she met the cub from her vision and realized her cat had returned. "He's come home to Africa, and he's changed species, but it's still him," she asserted.She encouraged listeners to embrace their connections with animals, explaining that they serve as guides and healers. "Your animal is your spirit guide," she explained. "They don't leave you forever. They just need to sometimes go off and get a new body."
